commutative property of multiplication

The commutative property of multiplication states that for any real numbers $a, b$, and $c$, $a(b \cdot c)=a(c \cdot b)$ Because $6(2*3)=6(3*2)$ is clearly in this form, it demonstrates the commutative property of multiplication. Thus, the given statement illustrates the commutative property of multiplication.
